Outdated meme alert!

And his take on the performance of the Offensive Line was....?
August 12th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
My guess is he was enthusiastic, in the same way George W. was with Michael Brown (head of FEMA) after Hurricane Katrina.

I don't see any point in letting Devin interivew with that station. It's a Sparty station and Rico is Valenti-light when it comes to obsession/hate of all things Michigan. He reads right from the Sparty Orientation Handbook on Wolverine Meme's and Half-truths.

He reads right from the Sparty Orientation Handbook on Wolverine Meme's and Half-truths.So by that I can infer that he downplays the importance of recruiting when Michigan flips the commitment on a kid like Drake Harris or Mike Weber, but when Malik McDowell chooses State, Dantonio is totally taking Michigan to the woodshed on the recruiting front. Am I close?

The chapter on recruiting is complex. They like to tell everyone it's one of the last chapters in the handbook, but when Mork tells the media he has "brought in the top player in the state for the 3rd year in a row" it suddenly matters. The handbook has two covers so they can reverse the order of importance when it suits their argument.

A year ago they were having a circle jerk over the possibiliy of pulling in the top 4 recruits in the state of Michigan. They only got one (Michigan got the other three) and suddenly this thread died for some reason.

I think 105.1 is more the Michigan station and 97.1 is more pro-State (though maybe that's just because of Valenti...who I'm surprised has time to ever do his show, what with all the locked-in-the-basement-jerking-off-to-jim-rome-clips and whatnot). I even like Rico. I know he's a Sparty but he seems like a fun type, almost the anti-Valenti.

but last year during fall camp the defense was getting rave reviews. We later came to find out it was because the offensive line was so inept. I'm not necessarily saying that it's true for this year, but I'm not believing any hype until they play against another team.
